CHAPTER 54. ANOTHER TWIST
RYDER
The deep grunts and lewd, moaning sounds didn't register in my ears until I made the worst intrusion of my life.
Deep in my thoughts, I failed to notice the bra lying at the doorway and the used condoms littered next to it.
My stunning gaze caught sight of the beeping phone on the table. It was Tiffany's phone and I was the caller. I quickly ended the call, still stuck on the spot.
I let my gaze slowly take in the sight in front of me. The burly ebony guy was on my seat, and Tiffany was straddling him. Her boobs were on full display and her skirt was rolled up to the waist region. Her thong cut through her ass crack but shifted to the side at her pussy area.
His huge, hard black dick was thrusting into her pussy and she was yelling her head off in pleasure with her arms around his neck.
She was completely disheveled, anyone could tell they'd been at this for hours.
“Ryder, do you mind?“ She whispered to me in a hushed tone.
I blinked back to reality and quickly bolted out the door, shutting it firmly behind me. Shit!
Tiffany's loud cry of pleasure wafted through the door minutes later. And soon, the door opened and the man walked out.
He bowed. “Alpha-prince–“
“Just get going,“ I cut him off, not wanting to engage in this awkward conversation.
He nodded and headed out.
I stalled for more minutes, giving Tiffany more time to clean up and get civil. Soon, the door opened and she was standing behind it, dressed up and back to normal. Well, except for her swollen lips from the kisses.
“Come in,“ She mumbled timidly, stepping aside for me to walk in.
I walked in and plumped on one of the leather seats for visitors. I couldn't bring myself to go sit on my chair, after witnessing what they did on it a while ago.
“I'm really sorry about that. I just uh–“ She stuttered, fidgeting with her fingers. My fake poker face was the reason behind her uneasiness. I couldn't keep up with the face much longer, I just had to burst into laughter.
Her shoulders eased and she walked around the table to go sit on my chair.
“Whoa, Tiff. That was hot.“ I teased. Her cheeks were graced with pink hues from how embarrassed she was. “Tell me something though, why did it have to be in my office?“
“I'm sorry. He came in to drop some papers and the spark went off and we went with the flow,“
“I never knew you fancied black dicks. I thought you were a sucker for white dicks,“
“Like yours?“ She fired back and I was rendered speechless. I chuckled. She did too. “What are you doing here anyway? I'm beginning to think you're daydreaming,“
”I'm bored asf. Plus, I'm stuck with a boner and it wouldn't go away. I'm irritated and drained,“
“Whoa, too much information. I don't need to hear about your boners. I don't think it's right discussing it with me,“
“But you're my PA–“
“Yes, but just on a very professional basis now, right? You said so yourself,”
Yes, I did. And I wasn't having regrets or trying to go back on my decision. I was just trying to pinpoint the fact that she was my PA and was obligated to help me in every aspect I needed help, even if that includes listening to my sexual life. Jason would know, he always listens. I never thought a day would come when he wouldn't be right by my side to listen. I always took him for granted, never giving him enough appreciation as he deserves.
Again, remembering him made my heart sting and I quickly brushed aside the thought.
“Where's Darius? And what the heck are you wearing? You look like a hillbilly,“ She snickered.
“He hit the club last night with the guys and he's yet to return to the palace. I had to pick the outfit myself and you know how much I suck at that,“
“You sure do,“ She stifled her snickering and went ahead to ask, “How does having Darius as a Beta feel?“
“Great. We practically grew up together and being as close as we are made the whole thing feel normal,“
“As normal as it was between you and Jason?“
“Nah. Not gonna lie. Darius is great but I doubt he's ever gonna make it feel as fun as Jason made it feel,“ I almost went ahead to voice out how much I missed him but I held back. No need to start over that bridge.
She noticed the change in atmosphere and tried lighting it up again.
“How's Hara doing?“ she asked.
“Better. She's got the best doctor, capable maids, and the comfort of her best friend. She's doing just great,“
“Good. So why are you moving around with a boner when she's right there in the same house as you are?“
“She's been through a lot, Tiff. And I'm giving her all the time she needs to heal. Besides, I'm trying to stick to the traditional ways,“
“I don't understand…“
“No humping until officially joined as mates.“
Her eyes widened in surprise, “You serious?!“
“Yeah. I mean, I wanna do things right with her. I'm gonna wait for the elders to return, and if my mate-bond with her is accepted, we go ahead with the official rites and all,“
“What business do the elders have to do with your choice of mate? I thought the bond was ethereal and no mortal opposes it,“
“My case is rather twisted. Hara used to have a mate from her former pack. Now, Father thinks my "forbidden" attraction to her is the reason behind the flood. And the last verdict rests on the elders who went to the old temples to seek the wise words of the Moon Goddess,”
“Whoa, okay. And what if your bond with her gets rejected?“
“Then I'll be left with no other choice but to relinquish my position as the Alpha of this pack. I plan on eloping with her, already made the arrangements. Surely there's a place in this world where our bond will be accepted and not questioned,“
”Wow, Ryder. You amaze me,“
“How so?“
“Never thought of you as such a romantic. I mean, your willingness to give up your throne is just insane. I never knew you could love in such a profound way,“
“Well, that's change, I guess. How about you? Is there a chance you're gonna be loving that ebony guy who just left?“
“What? Nah.“ She gave a small laugh, shaking her head. “No way,“
“Wait, so he's just for a good hump?“
“Yeah, more like a 'spur-of-the-moment' thing. We met two hours ago. I was horny. He was favoring a boner. We decided to help each other out. That's just it. Why do you seem like you're trying to get rid of me?“
“What?“
“Like, you want me to get involved with another so you're gonna be rid of your guilt or something,“
“You got it all wrong, Tiff. I just want you to be happy, that's all. And trust me, you could find a life partner, get kids, grow old and I'm still gonna feel sorry for how I treated you. Nothing's gonna get that guilt away from me, nothing.”
”That's fair,“ she managed a small smile and stood to her feet turning around to come stand in front of me. ”I got something to attend to. Are you gonna be okay staying here alone?“
“Uh, sure. Go ahead,“
She bent and kissed my cheek. It was like a must-do for her whenever we were close.
”You'll be fine,“
“Thanks.“ I managed a smile. My eyes darted to the door and it was ajar. The intruder was standing in the doorway with a fixed gaze on us.
Took me a few more seconds to realize it was Hara, and a lot more seconds to comprehend the look in her eyes.
I jerked off the seat, distancing myself from Tiffany, who looked as stunned as I was.
“Hara…“ I began but she ran off, slamming the door behind her. I didn't think twice before I chased after her.
